Xanana Gusmão, representative of Timor-Leste, is in Indonesia to initiate a new round of dialogue on the delimitation of maritime borders between the two countries. This visit highlights the importance of the issue on the Timorese government's agenda, as it considers the definition of maritime borders a national priority.

The delimitation of the maritime border is crucial for Timor-Leste, as it aims to complete the permanent definition of borders that have been the subject of prolonged negotiations. According to reports, this process is an essential part of Timor-Leste's efforts to ensure the exploration of its maritime resources.

The meeting is seen as an opportunity for the parties to discuss outstanding issues and advance negotiations, in light of the shared interest in establishing a clear understanding of the maritime borders.
